Currently, in Spain more marital breakdowns that occur unions.
Such separations are governed by legislation that is generating much debate, since more and more sectors of society seeking reform.
From Citizens we believe that the laws governing parent-child relationships in matrimonial proceedings demanding a necessary upgrade.
Joint custody is the legal situation whereby, in the event of marital separation or divorce, both parents exercise legal custody of their minor children, equal rights and the same.
In Spain, it has opened the debate on the implementation of shared custody in cases where there is no agreement between the parents.
Several regions are already considering joint custody as the main option.
Similarly, the Supreme Court is sitting jurisprudence consider several statements to joint custody as the preferred measure to regulate parent-child relationships in matrimonial proceedings.
Large sectors of society demand changes in this area to achieve effective equality of parents regarding guardianship, because the interest of the minor so requires.
For the spokesman of Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padin, we can not force a child to give up any of their parents because both father and mother are essential to their growth and development as they share love and responsibility. "
Murcia can not legislate in this area because, unlike other regions, the competitions in matrimonial matters possesses the central government.
It is therefore necessary that the Congress of Deputies approved a bill on shared custody, to update the regulations in force in our region to new social demands.
The shared custody will imminently be the general rule that breaks couples with minor children shall be governed.
It is therefore necessary to establish as a preferred measure to govern the parent-child relationships in the process of marital breakdown.
